    Eskil Abrahamsen Blomfeldt has a post on his blog showing how to call QtActivity/(HangmanActivity) static Java methods from C++ "here":http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/12/12/implementing-in-app-purchase-on-android/.

    He mentions that he only uses static methods because this is easier (indeed) and nothing more is needed in his example. Quote:

    bq. In my game, the Activity is a singleton, so I store a static reference to the object in the constructor. (My C++ Data class has the same logic. I’m doing this so that I can facilitate the communication between the Java and the C++ code using static methods. For a more complex example, it’s also possible to store references and pointers in each C++ and Java object that maps it to its equivalent in the other language, but that is not necessary in this game.)

    Calling the static method works. Calling the non-static method does not work(function is never entered). If I call the non-static method connectBluetooth() in onCreate() it works. Is there a way to be able to call and not have the non-static method in onCreate()?

    I figured I'll add some code. I have extended the QtActivity class:

    @package org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings;

    import org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtApplication;
    import org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity;
    import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter;
    import android.content.Intent;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.util.Log;
    import java.lang.String;

    public class MyActivity extends QtActivity
    {
    private BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter;
    private static final int ENABLE_BLUETOOTH_REQUEST = 1;

        public MyActivity()
        {
            Log.d(QtApplication.QtTAG, "MyActivity constructor called");
        }
    
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        }
    
        @Override
        public void onDestroy()
        {
            super.onDestroy();
        }
    
    @Override
        protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
    {
                Log.d(QtApplication.QtTAG, "onActivityResult entered");
        if(requestCode == 1)
        {
            if(requestCode == 1)
            {
                if(resultCode == RESULT_OK)
                {
                                        Log.d(QtApplication.QtTAG, "User accepted to enable Bluetooth");
                }
                else if(resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED)
                {
                                        Log.d(QtApplication.QtTAG, "User declined to enable Bluetooth");
                }
            }
        }
    }
    
        public void connectBluetooth()
        {
            Log.d(QtApplication.QtTAG, "connectBluetooth() entered");
            bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
            if(bluetoothAdapter == null)
            {
                Log.d(QtApplication.QtTAG, "Bluetooth adapter is not found");
                return;
            }
    
            if(!bluetoothAdapter.isEnabled())
            {
                Log.d(QtApplication.QtTAG, "Bluetooth is off");
                Intent enableBluetoothIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
                startActivityForResult(enableBluetoothIntent, ENABLE_BLUETOOTH_REQUEST);
            }
        }
    
        public static void test()
        {
            Log.d(QtApplication.QtTAG, "Static Test OK!");
        }
    

    }@

    and I try to call these methods from this C++ class:

    @#include "bluetooth.h"
    #include <QtAndroidExtras>
    #include <QDebug>

    Bluetooth::Bluetooth(QObject *parent) :
    QObject(parent)
    {
    }

    void Bluetooth::connect()
    {
    //Test static call
    QAndroidJniObject::callStaticMethod<void>("org/qtproject/qt5/android/bindings/MyActivity", "test");

    //Test non-static call
    //Line below creates a new object and is a subclass of QtActivity.
    bluetooth = new QAndroidJniObject("org/qtproject/qt5/android/bindings/MyActivity");
    
    if(!bluetooth->isValid())
    {
        qDebug() << "bluetooth is an invalid java object";
        return;
    }
    
    bluetooth->callMethod<void>("connectBluetooth");
    

    }@
